# tweenlight

> English word · Noun

## Definitions
1. The period between dusk and nightfall; twilight.

## Etymology
From Old English twēonlēoht (“twilight”, literally “double-/doubtful-/uncertain-light”). The alternative spellings are due to a misassociation with between, erroneously interpreting tweenlight as if it were a shortening of between-light.
